Abstract
Description
Full-receiving optical path of small-aperture single-atom filter for resonant fluorescence lidar Technical Field
[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of laser radar technology, and more specifically to a resonant fluorescence laser radar small-aperture single-atom filter full-receiving optical path and detection method. Background Art
[0002] Resonance fluorescence lidar (RFL) is a powerful tool for detecting atmospheric parameters at altitudes of 80-105 kilometers in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere with high temporal and spatial resolution, such as atmospheric temperature, wind speed, and atomic density. Currently, a variety of RFLs utilizing different atoms are available internationally, including sodium, potassium, and iron. For sodium RFL, since the resonant fluorescence excitation wavelength of sodium atoms is the visible light wavelength of 589.159 nm, suppressing daytime background noise is particularly important for detecting high-altitude signals during daylight hours.
[0003] Atomic filters, with their narrow linewidth and high out-of-band suppression ratio, have been successfully applied to daytime detection by sodium and potassium warm wind lidars. However, due to the atmospheric depolarization of the echo signal, the echo signal received by the lidar telescope contains both S- and P-polarization components. Existing sodium and potassium warm wind lidar systems only receive the echo of a single polarization component, resulting in the loss of nearly half of the echo signal, significantly affecting the system's detection efficiency. Related technologies use dual-channel independent atomic filters to receive the echo signal, achieving full reception of the echo signal.
[0004] In the process of realizing the concept of the present disclosure, the inventors found that there are at least the following problems in the related technology: the use of a dual-channel independent atomic filter to receive the echo signal requires separate magnetic field, insulation and temperature control, and it is difficult to ensure complete consistency in technical implementation; moreover, the dual-channel independent atomic filter occupies a large volume and has a high implementation cost.

[0037] According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, the full-receiving optical path of the small-aperture single-atom filter of the resonant fluorescence lidar can be understood as the implementation optical path of the small-aperture single-atom filter of the resonant fluorescence lidar.
[0038] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the front optical path component 100 is used to receive a light beam from outside the full-receiving optical path of the small-aperture single-atom filter of the resonant fluorescence lidar, and to converge the light beam and decompose it into a first light beam and a second light beam with polarization directions perpendicular to each other.

[0040] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the polarization optical path component 200 is placed after the front optical path component 100 and includes a first optical path component 210 and a second optical path component 220. The first optical path component 210 can transmit the first light beam to the atomic cell to filter out noise light, and then transmit the first light beam after filtering out noise light to the rear optical path component 300. The second optical path component 220 can be used to transmit the second light beam to the atomic cell to filter out noise light, and then transmit the second light beam after filtering out noise light to the rear optical path component 300.
[0041] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the post-optical path component 300 is placed after the polarization optical path component 200 and is used to simultaneously detect the first light beam and the second light beam after the noise light is filtered out.
[0042] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the pre-optical path assembly 100 may include optical components such as an optical fiber and a collimator. The optical fiber is used to receive a light beam from outside the resonant fluorescence lidar's small-aperture single-atom filter's full-receive optical path. The collimator is used to collimate the received light beam into a beam with a smaller emission angle. The light beam may be a light beam that needs to be detected, such as an echo signal.

[0048] The atomic pool in the embodiment of the present disclosure can be a single atom pool such as a sodium atom pool, a potassium atom pool, etc., to form a full-receiving optical path of a small-aperture single atom filter of a resonant fluorescence lidar.
[0049] According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, the resonant fluorescence lidar small-aperture single-atom filter full-receiving optical path decomposes the echo signal light received by the resonant fluorescence lidar into a first light beam and a second light beam with mutually perpendicular polarization directions. After separation, the two light beams enter the first light path and the second light path respectively. The light beams of the two light paths pass through the atom pool at the same time, and finally merge into a single light beam to reach the detector photosensitive surface, realizing compact light beam transmission. In addition, because the light beams of the two light paths pass through the atom pool at the same time, the atom pool can achieve the simultaneous insulation and temperature control of the two light beams with different polarization directions, thereby ensuring data consistency.
[0050] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the divergence angle of the first light beam can be the maximum deviation angle between the first light beam and the optical axis. The divergence angle of the second light beam can be the maximum deviation angle between the second light beam and the optical axis. The third preset angle can be 9°, and the divergence angles of the first light beam and the second light beam are both less than the third preset angle, that is, the divergence angles of the first light beam and the second light beam are both less than 9°.

[0053] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the distance between the edge of the first optical path component away from the central axis and the edge of the second optical path component away from the central axis is less than 22 mm, that is, the height / width of the entire resonant fluorescence lidar small-aperture single-atom filter full-receiving optical path is less than 22 mm.
[0054] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the overall width / height of the optical components forming the full-receiving optical path is less than 22 mm.

The first light beam and the second light beam are simultaneously output by the front optical path component and arrive at the rear optical path component at the same time.
[0056] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the atom cell is used to control the first light beam and the second light beam according to the same control parameters.
[0057] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a heat-insulating shell, a magnet kit, and a temperature control kit are provided outside the atomic pool, thereby enabling the temperature and magnetic field to be controlled at the atomic pool.
[0058] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, one of the first light beam and the second light beam is an S-polarized light component, and the other is a P-polarized light component.
